If there is one thing I can talk about 24/7, it is sailing

I don't know the English terms in sailing but I know that every sailor has heard the saying "Luff Up". Is it a thing for coaches to somehow make us find a new unknown angle of taking in the wind? Sailing is only a crazy and fun person's interest for sure. Why would anyone tire themselves like that and actually spend immense money on it to not have anything you can hold with your hands if not for love and passion?


Sailing is my soulmate for sure and I would marry it if I could. Being one with nature while being in control, getting along with the weather and boat to be the best, caring for every part of the boat and feeling alive... You cannot feel any of these if you are not a sailor yourself. Of course there are thousands of people going around telling they are sailors when they only know how to use the boat but not feel it.


Like any other sports, sailing comes with many challenges in both mental and physical ways. One time one of my coaches described sailing as the only sport that you are supposed to be running while playing chess. For me, it is the perfect way to define sailing. Looking for gusts, controlling a bunch of ropes, checking the tell-tails all the time, see who is there around you and still do a full body workout on top? It is just the perfect way to secrete adrenaline.
